Pollo Campero

Pollo Campero

Well, I have to admit I stumbled onto to this place by accident. I was running errands when I noticed Pollo Campero’s sign so I thought, “What the heck I’ll give it a try.” It was really difficult to eat all of the great tasting fried chicken while kicking myself for never hearing about how good this place is! The chicken is as great-tasting as any other chicken places that get more publicity and hype. Pollo Campero is chicken Guatemalan-style. I didn’t know there was a Guatemalan-style chicken as I had gotten accustomed to Pollo Loco as a representative of Latin American-style chicken. Vi ve la difference! This chicken is moist and tender with great flavor and not too thick of a crust. The chicken is best eaten when hot, ideally right there in the restaurant. If you take it home make sure to open the box on the way so it doesn’t steam the chicken otherwise it will lose its crispiness. The other must-have item on their menu is yucca fries just make sure they fry you up a fresh batch and ask for it crispy. You will not be disappointed! Don’t bother with the plantains as they were soggy and didn’t taste good
